What specific request does the author make to the listeners at the start of Chapter 15?

At the beginning of Chapter 15, the author makes a humble and specific request to the readers, or listeners. The author asks them to 'please show grace' and to prepare their minds respectfully for the story by first contemplating their own Guru. This plea for attention and forgiveness is central to the chapter's opening verses. The author further asks the listeners not to rebuke this effort, comparing them to a great ocean that accepts all rivers. As Chapter 15 shows, the author's primary desire is to immerse themselves in the listeners' grace and share the nectar-like stories of Sai.
